Head-to-Head SMAC/X PBEM Tourney

[smhfan86]

if you do have angels i strongly suggest that you both be allowed to exploit them, as trying to figure out if they have +4 probe at every base you decide to probe, would be tedious in the later game. also, you don't have to worry about someone accidently exploiting it.

aliens as AI is fine with me.

i think it would be okay to play an alien, as long as your opponent was too. i.e. one goes usurper and the other caretakers. that would be a cool game.

Hey smhfan

I have emailed archaic and am awaiting a response before setting it up-- How about you and I go at it in game two-- I would take the drones once again . . .

So will you take the UoP and give me two similar challenges or will it be the Hive in an attempt to compete in industrial might ??

I figure since I am first in game one, you should be first in game two-- perhaps you could challenge archaic as well so we would each have two of these at once

I am just frustrated with my games-- I am in 9 now IIRC and have seen my last turn on Tuesday -- yes Tuesday

Hey Flubber.

How about two games then?

I'll take UoP in the first game and go first, and then take the Hive in the second game and go second. Sound good?

Or, I could just challenge Archaic, so we'd all have two games.

SMAX Game #2: aployXh2h02

UofP - SMH vs Drones - Flubber

Game created and sent to Flubber

[Flubber]

h2h 03 started with Flubber-drones and smhfan86 as the Hive

smacx i play uop or cybernetics. can play hive/drones if necessary.

[smhfan86]

Hey SgtSlick_aus, need your email before we can start.

You'll be matched up to the first person that'll play.

[Flubber]

I heard from Archaic and head to head #1 has been sent to him with myself as the Drones and archaic as the UoP.

[Archaic]

SMH, count me out for a second head to head for at least another week and a half. I'm going to have my hands full with Flubber as it is, especially if RTT, TG#3, BotP and CGN5 get moving again.

Sorry SgtSlick_aus, but you'll need another opponent for apolyXh2h04.

[smhfan86]

No problem Archaic,

I'll have my hands full with Flubber too. I got two games with him.

SgtSlick_aus, you'll be matched up with the first person that wants in. Just leave your email here, so we can contact you.

[SgtSlick_aus]

Everyone should read the rules over again.

I added some stuff to it.

Like, ***Once elected 'Surpreme Leader,' the game is over and you win. Your opponent can't refuse to join you, and vice versa. So watch those votes carefully.***

Also, added the rules regarding the Angels and Aliens we discussed earlier.

Any other changes were to clarify the current rules for newbie players not familiar with pbem and the bugs in the game. However, I suggest everyone read over it again.

Note: I will only make additions or clarifications to the rules from now on, and they will be discussed in this thread first, before being applied.

Just curious as to what prompted this addition . . . Its never even been an issue in any of my PBEMs since, if someone has 3 times the votes, they are likely 3 times as big and their opponents capitulate earlier when the game is a lost cause . In fact, I am not even certain that a human gets the opportunity to decide whether to accede or not.

I can envision scenarios where you could have a very playable or even a strong position. In theory, shouldn't you have the abiliity to fight on against the combined might of all the factions ?? ( Again, I am not sure how it works in practice in a PBEM)
